The ordinary can be epic.
Michael Buxton’s Misplaced Memories in Moments of Being brings to life suburban lives, family rituals, and fleeting moments – each carrying the history of who we are and how we came to be.
Tracing the rise – and unravelling – of the suburban dream, the book reflects on memory, place, and the search for a modern paradise.
Now available through Hardie Grant Publishing https://lnkd.in/gNWdcRcq and other good bookstores.
The cover features Max Martin’s 1953 work, Car Lights in Eltham, reproduced with permission from Bridget McDonnell Gallery.
